There *is* the Hillary-Care-By-Increments that is the renewal of CHIP - The “Child” Health insurance that will cover adults to age 25, families of four that make as much as $80,000 a year, and will take money *away* from Medicare - And it will increase the odds that States will use tax funds for abortion, and cut funds at the end of life. And raises cigar tax from 5 cents to $10 per in one fell swoop!
The President is promising to veto — I hope he does!
“”The federal government is spending $5 billion a year on the program. At that rate, it would spend $25 billion in the next five years.
“”The Senate bill would provide an additional $35 billion over five years, for a total of $60 billion. The House bill would provide $50 billion, for a $75 billion total.””

And that’s just the tip of the ice burg for the Dems
I guess it is part of the promise land that Howard Dean mentioned at the Kos Konvention last night
But if those bills haven’t become law, then the Dims haven’t accomplished them yet.
Bush recently signed a bill that supposedly enacts some of the 911 Commission’s recommendations, so that’s one ‘accomplishment’.
I can’t think of any others.
